> It's an April fools joke. There was no hacker, and nothing was leaked. The joke is that it doesn't make any sense, because lichess is open source.

> Open source is the best way to build software for a number of reasons, and it has resulted in the most successful and used programs, such as Linux (on which almost all servers run, as well as all Android phones), Firefox or Chrome.
